well I don’t question Rome’s doctrines

I freely admit I consider the new Pope to be a bit of a loose cannon

If you have made the determination that the new pope is a bit of a loose cannon, then you must have some criteria for making that determination.

What is it then?

And that also puts you in the position of passing judgment on the choice of the Catholic church in choosing the man.

Under what authority do you pass judgment on the cardinals who voted him in? What is your standard used for making that determination?
